Scavenger Hunt
You’re involved in a scavenger hunt—boys versus girls—and you take off to help your team collect every item on the list. The first several items are relatively easy but the last item is very unusual. But, upon reading the last item, you know exactly where to find it. The only problem is that it isn’t going to be easy to retrieve it. Write this scene.
